So, in all of the work I had to do to pass inspection (yet still didn't) one thing has been bothering me - the valve adjustment.
Here's the rub:
All of the manuals say one thing - TDC, andjust certain valves, turn it 360 degrees, adjust the rest, right? I called the tech line at Man-A-Fre, and the guy tells me that the way they do it is to put each cyl at TDC on the compression stroke and adjust from there. He said that the manual was absolutely wrong. He also said that they have Toyota dealerships, who, when they can't get it right, send it out to them, and that's how they do it.
Anyone care to weigh in on this? Are the pistons in the 2F slightly staggered or something? Why would one method be better than the other?
It's stupid crap like this that keeps me up at night.
